In reply to Denni:
Its sad when a band member dies before you get to see them but a few years back during Gay Pride weekend the cheeky girls 'performed' on a makeshift stage on our works carpark and I had the misfortune to have have to supervise the event. I wished that one of the girls had keeled over and f*cking died, I really did.
For me I guess I was young enough and had the means to have got myself to Black Sabbath, Judas Priest & Dire Straits but I never did. I have dropped lucky on something I thought would never happen though. My dad had the 'Quo-Live!' album when I was exploring music as a kid and I remember thinking - wooo that sounds ace! Still gets played now on the ipod. anywhoo, the Quo have made up their differences and are playing 8 dates this year with the original 'frantic four' Rossi, Parfit, Lancaster and Coghlan and the set list will pretty much be the 'Quo-Live!' album. Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought that'd happen.
Its my old mans 70th B'day the same month as the Manchester gig. Guess what I've got me dad for his big day? :-D
